date format

[sadie]

i would like to change the date format that appears in templates, to the UK
format ie day/month/year, any ideas.

I think this follows your system settings.

Other than that, when you Insert > Field into a shape, you can specify the
formatting from the list on the right. In your case you want something like
DD.MM.YY.

Yes this works. I'm running Windows XP Pro. I went to "Regional and Language
Options" under the "Control Panel" changed the region to "English (United
Kingdom)". Then back in Visio I just double clicked on all the date 'boxes'
and the date format changes. Thanks Chris.
